LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Paul will be wearing his No. 3 jersey in his return to the LA Clippers. Newly acquired Bradley Beal has agreed to give Paul the number that Beal has worn his entire NBA career, according to Lawrence Frank, president of basketball operations.

There are constants in life: the sun rises, grass is green and Chris Paul wears No. 3. All three things remain true after a thoughtful gesture from Bradley Beal, Paul's new teammate with the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed 3-time All-Star guard Bradley Beal after the final 2 years of his contract were bought out by the Phoenix Suns earlier this week.
